Menzies Campbell, the former Liberal Democrat leader who was an MP for nearly three decades, has died aged 84, prompting tributes from across the political spectrum for his decency and sense of principle.
Lord Campbell, usually known as Ming, died in London after a period of respite care, his grandson Gregor Grant-Suttie said in a statement. He had spent some of his final days watching last weekend’s Lib Dem conference, the family said.
